Now powered by Jekyll

I’ve made the leap over from WordPress to Jekyll. Static sites are just easier, faster and more secure

Honestly, what hasn’t been said about Jekyll? Static sites are definitely the way to go. I’ve been hearing about vulnerabilities in WordPress and Drupal on and off, even more so since listening to security podcasts like Risky Biz.

What I never thought I’d say is my site is now somewhat…open-source? You can find all of its code on my GitHub project calvinbui/calvin.me. There, you can find some drafts I’m working on as well if you want to spoil yourself.

I’m happy with how it eventually turned out despite the trouble. It is much simpler to read and make changes to. I don’t need a slew of plugins to get everything running perfectly like on WordPress, because it just works.

Other notes:

Security is not as big of a concern, the only way in is through GitHub, CloudFlare or Namecheap.
